If you prefer a more permanent solution or have a rooted Android device, you can use third-party apps to disable the touch screen. Here’s how:

If you have enabled developer options on your Android device, you can disable the touch screen using this method:

1. Step 1: Open the Settings app on your device.
2. Step 2: Scroll down and select About phone.
3. Step 3: Scroll down again and tap on ‘Build number’.
4. Step 4: Keep tapping on ‘Build number’ until you see a notification that says ‘You are now a developer! ‘
5. Step 5: Go back to the main settings page and scroll down.

   You should now see a new option called ‘Developer options’.

6. Step 6: Tap on Developer options to open its settings.
7. Step 7: Scroll down and find the ‘Input’ section.
8. Step 8: Look for an option called ‘Pointer location’ or a similar name. Toggle the switch to disable it.
